Twenty years ago, on a sleepy Sunday, Americans heard from, their radios that they were at war. Imperfect as these reports were, they were sufficient to reshape the outlook of a nation and the course of world events. Ernest Rose, Film Director and Research Associate Institute for Communication Research, Stanford University, fortuitously discovered recordings of these broadcasts at the Hoover Institute on War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford. Although the transcripts (edited slightly for publication) are of great interest, the more sobering conclusions of Mr. Rose are of even greater importance.
